CHECK IT OUT:
Hey there, I'm living in Nashville now and am pretty much playing somewhere in town most nights if I'm not out on tour. I always list my dates here on my page to make it easy to find me. Most of the time I play with Heath Haynes and The Fourballers, Meat And Three featuring Josh Hedley, The Travis Mann Band, Joshua Black Wilkins, Tasha Valentine, Suzette Lawrence and The Neon Angels, Chuck Mead, Melody Guy, Chris Scruggs, Jen Jones and The Cameros, Brandon Giles, the list goes on and on....Some nights I'm playing Guitar, some nights I'm playing Pedal Steel, some nights I'm playing both Guitar and Pedal Steel. Anyway, come out and check it out when you're in Nashville, or when I'm in your town.
JUST RELEASED: TANYA DONELLY : THIS HUNGRY LIFE . This CD was recorded live in August 2004 in Bellows Falls, Vermont. I'm playing Guitar and/or Pedal Steel on all the tracks along with a great band consisting of Joan Wasser on Violin, Dean Fischer on guitar, Joe McMahon on Bass, and Arthur Johnson on Drums. Bill Janovitz was there helping out on Harmony Vocals also. I think the recording came out pretty great.
